Vehicle Overview
- Please read the instructions in this manual carefully before initial use, otherwise it may cause personal injury and property damage, and may also result in you losing your maintenance or warranty rights.
- Try to keep the power battery fully charged before driving. When the vehicle is driving, the power battery is gradually
discharged. When the power battery is at low power, it must be recharged. Otherwise,the vehicle cannot run.
- This vehicle is equipped with two types of batteries. One is power battery (high voltage) used to supply power to drive motor and propel the vehicle. The other is low-voltage battery used to supply power to low-voltage electrical systems such as headlamps, audio, horns, etc. The power of low-voltage battery comes from power battery.
- This vehicle adopts a charging plug to connect with power grid to charge the power battery. Besides, this vehicle has energy recovery function. During braking, the motor generates electricity and store part of it in power battery so as to extend the driving range of the vehicle.
- This vehicle features the creep function. That is, when the vehicle is in a drivable state (the ready for operation indicator is on) and in forward gear (D) or reverse gear (R), release brake pedal and parking brake and the vehicle will move forward or backward slowly.
High Voltage Safety
The following information is helpful to keep passengers and emergency personnel safe from high voltage:
- The high voltage fuse (inside the power battery) provides short-circuit protection for the power battery.
- Positive/negative high-voltage cables connected to power battery are usually controlled by high-voltage relay. When disconnecting the vehicle high voltage power supply, the relay is disconnected
to prevent the current from flowing out of power battery.
- The voltage won’t be safe enough for
human touch until 5 minutes after the power supply disconnection. To prevent serious injury or death caused by accidental contact with high-voltage electricity, it is strictly prohibited to touch, cut off or damage any orange high- voltage cables or high-voltage components.
- High-voltage cables are insulated from the metal body of the vehicle. High- voltage electricity flows through these cables, not through the metal body. As the metal body is insulated from high voltage parts, it is safe to touch the metal vehicle body.
Warning Information
- When the power system fails or the user operates improperly, the instrument cluster automatically displays warning information. Please read the information and follow its instructions. If the warning indicators turn on, warning information is displayed or the low-voltage battery is faulty, the power system may not start. In this case, try to restart the system. If the ready for operation indicator is not on, please contact authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet for maintenance.
- When the collision sensor detects a certain level of impact, the system and high voltage current output will be urgently cut off to minimize the risk of electric shock. If the emergency cut-off system is activated, the vehicle will not be able to restart. To restart the vehicle,
please contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet for maintenance.
- The removal and replacement of any high-voltage components in the vehicle may affect the performance and high- voltage safety, therefore any work involving the removal and replacement of high-voltage components must be the responsibility of authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet.
The vehicle is equipped with high voltage DC and AC systems as well
as 12 V low voltage system. High voltage DC and AC equipment systems are extremely dangerous. Serious injury or death may occur in case of failure.

Overview of Seat Belt
This section describes how to use the seat belt properly. This includes what you should and should not do when operating the seat belts.
How Seat Belts Saves Lives
When you sit in the vehicle, you are travelling at the speed of the vehicle.
Do not sit on the seat with unusable seat belt. The severity of injury will be much higher in case of traffic collision for passenger not properly restrained with the seat belt. Passengers not restrained with seat belt is at greater risk of injury in an accident due to uncontrolled contact with vehicle interior or be thrown out of vehicle. Make sure all passengers have fastened the seat belts properly before starting your
journey.
Passengers are prohibited to sit in the luggage area. In a collision, passengers sitting in the luggage area are not restrained and thus is at risk of severe injuries or death. All passengers are required to be seated and restrained with the seat belt. Children and infants should be restrained with a suitable child restraint
system.
This vehicle is fitted with the seat belt warning light to remind of unfastened seat belts. Make sure to fasten seat belt properly when driving.
Accidents are unpredictable. Statistics showed properly restrained passenger has a lower risk of severe or fatal injury in an accident.
An accident will cause a sudden deceleration of the vehicle. An unrestrained passenger will continue to move forward until obstructed by the interior components of the vehicle (i. e. steering wheel, instrument panel, windscreen, etc.). This increases the risk of severe or even fatal injuries.
With the seat belt fastened, passengers will be restrained to the vehicle and will have a controlled deceleration. Thus the risk of injury is greatly reduced.
Correct Sitting Posture
Correct sitting posture is important for seat belt and airbag to offer a maximum protection during crash. The shoulder anchor height can be adjusted to several levels. If the shoulder belt contact with your neck, adjust the shoulder anchor and/or your seat cushion height until the seat belt is positioned properly on your shoulder. Correct sitting posture can ensure:
- Vehicle can be operated and controlled accurately, effectively and safely.
- Allow driver to be supported effectively to avoid driving fatigue.
- To allow the maximum protective function of the seat belt and airbag.
Make sure that the body is not too close forward with steering wheel in
order to get enough distance for the airbag deployment.
When the vehicle is running, avoid over leaning position for the seatback. The shoulder belt may not be effective in restraining the passenger, causing
passengers to slide under the seat belt in the case of a frontal collision thus at risk of a serious injury.
Do not stretch head or arm out of the window when vehicle is running. This exposes the passengers to the being injured from external sources, and will reduce the protection effectiveness of the airbags in a
collision.
When the vehicle is running, all passengers should wear seat belts properly. In case of emergency braking or an accident, wearing seat belts properly can
reduce the injury of passengers.
- Improper wearing or not wearing seat belts may cause serious casualties!
- No occupant shall sit in the area without seat or seat belt or on a seat with damaged seat belt.
- Each seat belt can only be used by one person. Do not share a seat belt with more than one person (including children).
- Do not hang the shoulder belt on the neck or pass through the armpit.
- Do not remove, disassemble or modify the seat belt.
- The seat belt in the vehicle is mainly designed according to the body shape of adults, and children should wear appropriate child safety devices.
- Do not clean the seat belt with bleach, dyes or chemical solvents.
Correct Sitting Posture for Driver
Correct driver sitting posture is of great importance for safe driving. For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury, it is recommended for the driver to adjust in the following ways:
- Adjust the backrest: The seatback shall be adjusted to a comfortable upright position and support your back.
- Adjust the seat height: Make sure your own comfort and good front vision (about a fist distance between your head top and the headlining).
- Adjust the fore-aft position of the seat: Adjust so that the leg still can be kept bent when the brake pedal is applied.
- Adjust the steering wheel: The distance between the steering wheel and chest shall not be less than 25 cm, and the steering wheel can be rotated 180° with one hand and the hand can be kept bent.
- Adjust the headrest : Adjust according to the body height to make position of headrest consistent with that of head.
- Wear the seat belt properly.
Correct Sitting Posture for Front Passenger
For safety concern and to avoid injuries, front passenger should adjust the sitting posture in the following way:
- The distance between front passenger and instrument panel shall not be less than 25 cm.
- Seatback should be adjusted to a comfortable upright position and support your back.
- The headrest should be adjusted to be at the same level with your head.
- Wear the seat belt properly.
Wearing the Seat Belt Properly
The descriptions in this topic apply to adult occupants.
Always sit up straight and put your feet on the floor. Try to fasten the hip belt as low as possible and make it cling to the hip and make it just touch the thigh. The hip belt will apply restrictive force to the hip bone and will prevent hip belt sliding down in case of a traffic collision.
The hip belt will apply force to abdomen if the passenger slides below the hip belt. This may result in severe and even fatal injuries. Shoulder belt should be fastened across shoulder and chest. Such positions of body are most capable of bearing restriction force of seat belt. The shoulder belt will lock in
case of an emergency braking or a traffic collision.
Wearing Seat Belt for Pregnant Woman
Before a pregnant woman drives a vehicle, consult a doctor to see if she can drive the vehicle.
The method for pregnant women to wear seat belts is basically the same as that for normal use, but the following matters should be noted:
During pregnancy period, the best practice is always fasten the seat belt and keep the lap belt as low as possible across the hips. Wear the shoulder belt across the chest avoiding the abdomen.
When driving, sit upright and adjust the seat as far as possible. This will reduce the risk of injuries to woman and unborn child during airbag deployment.
If a pregnant woman uses a seat belt incorrectly, the seat belt may cause serious injury or death to the mother and the unborn child during emergency braking or in
a crash.
Three-point Seat Belt
- Pick up the latch plate, and pull seat belt across body. Do not twist the seat belt； The three-point seat belt may lock when
being pulled across body too fast. If this occurs, release and retract it a little to unlock it. And then pull the seat belt slowly across your body.
- Press the latch plate into the buckle until a “click” sound is heard；
Pull the latch plate to make sure it is locked. Make sure the position of the release button on the buckle for the convenience of unfastening the seat belt when necessary.
- The lap belt can be tightened if the shoulder belt is pulled up.
- To release seat belt, press red button on the buckle. Seat belt should return to unused state.
Avoid any foreign objects such as food scraps, nut shells, buttons, coins, viscous liquid from falling into the seat belt buckle. It may cause the failure of the seat belt reminder function and the locking or
unlocking function of the buckle.
Do not insert objects other than the vehicle latch plate into the buckle. Otherwise, it may cause the failure of the buckle. This will reduce the protective effect of the seat belt and may cause serious
personal injury or death.
In order to prevent the seat belt from hurting the surrounding area due to
too fast retraction or getting stuck due to too slow retraction, please return the seat belt to the original position after unfastening the seat belt.
The door will not clip the seat belt until it is closed. Otherwise, the seat belts
and doors will damage.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
Seat belt pretensioner is available for front seat belt. In the event of a vehicle collision and the seat belt device reaches the trigger condition, the seat belt will be tensioned to keep the passengers safe. The pretensioner can only work once. After a collision, it is necessary to contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet for a new pretensioner, and other seat belt system components may need to be replaced.
Seat Belt Unfastened Reminder
This vehicle is equipped with an unfastened seat belt reminder function for the driver and front and rear passengers. When the seat belt unfastened alarm is triggered, the seat belt unfastened warning lamp on the combination instrument display will illuminate in different states, and the combination instrument display will show the seat with the seat belt unfastened.
When the power system is activated, the warning lamp illuminates if the driver, front or rear passenger seat belt is not fastened. When the vehicle speed is between 10 ~ 25 km/h or the driving distance forward is more than about 300 metres, this lamp will flash slowly with a warning tone; when the vehicle speed is more than 25 km/h, this lamp will flash quickly with a warning tone; when the vehicle speed is more than 10 km/h, the lamp will flash with a warning tone if the seat belt is unfastened. And the lamp will turn off and the warning tone will disappear until the seat belt is fastened in the corresponding position.
- Fastening seat belt properly can lower the risk of being hurt at emergency braking and traffic accidents. Thus, the driver and passengers should all fasten seat belts properly during driving.
- Please pay attention to the illuminated warning lamp on the combination instrument display; otherwise, serious personal injury and property damage will be caused.
Overview of Airbag
- Airbag is an integral part of the passive safety system, which can never replace seat belts. All the occupants in vehicle shall fasten seat belts during driving.
- Under the influence of the collision position, angle, degree and property of objects collided, airbags may not be deployed in all accidents. The airbag can cause great impact when it is employed, so the driver and front occupants should adjust their seats to have a sufficient safety distance from the frontal airbags, wear seat belts correctly and maintain correct sitting posture to avoid serious personal injury or death.
- It is necessary to ensure that there is no obstacle in the way of airbag deployment. It is forbidden to place any object between the occupant and the airbag. If any obstacle exists between occupants and airbags, the airbags may not be inflated normally, or the obstacle may be squeezed into human body during deployment, resulting in severe casualties.
- After the airbag is unfolded, do not touch it to avoid scalding.
- When the airbag is deployed, some gas and dust will be released, which may irritate the skin and eyes. Please goto hospital for treatment if you feel uncomfortable.
- Do not maintain, repair, remove or replace any part of airbag system by yourself. Otherwise, the system may not
work normally, causing serious casualties.
- The airbag system can only serve protection once. If the airbag has been deployed, it must be replaced at an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet immediately.
Due to the considerable speed and force when the airbag is unfolded, do
not let infants and children or hold them on the front seat with airbag to avoid serious casualties.
Positions of Airbags
Front Airbag
In case of front impact, front airbags can effectively protect occupants from being injured head-on.
When the vehicle suffers from moderate to severe front impact or nearly front impact which reaches the triggering condition of the system, the airbag will be inflated with gas so as to buffer the forward charging speed of driver and front passenger, and prevent the driver and front passenger from hitting on the steering wheel and dashboard directly.
The driver airbag is mounted in the center of steering wheel and the front passenger airbag in the instrument panel above the glove box, respectively, marked with
“AIRBAG”.
The inflation and deflation of airbags complete in a very short time and only deploy once. These deployed airbags will no longer provide protection to the occupants
from any subsequence impact.
- Do not press or hit the driver airbag cover plate with force. Otherwise, the driver airbag may accidently deploy and cause personal injury.
- Do not put things or pets in front of the instrument panel or glove box as well as on the steering wheel with airbags installed. They may hinder the deployment of airbag or cause severe injury or death of occupants due to its strong deployment force. Do not modify, remove, knock or open any front airbag components or line; otherwise, the airbag may suddenly inflate or the system will become inoperable, resulting in personal injury or death.
During the operation of the vehicle, do not sit on the side of the seat or lean against the instrument panel. Any person stands against or stays very close to the airbag may be seriously injured or killed when the airbag inflates. Driver and passengers must keep a distance of at least
25 cm from the position of airbag.
Contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet immediately in
the following cases:
- The front airbags have been deployed.
- The front part of the vehicle was impacted but the front airbags are not triggered to deploy.
- The front airbag cover has cracks, scratches or other forms of damage.
Side Airbag
Side airbag provides further protection for the driver and front passenger, based on the safety protection provided by seat belts. In case of a moderate or severe side impact, the side airbag can reduce personal injury by inflating and working together with the seat belts simultaneously.
Side airbags can mainly reduce chest injuries for driver or front passenger.
Side airbags are mounted in the seatbacks of the driver seat and front passenger seat;
The seats are marked with "AIRBAG”.
Due to the considerable speed and force when the side airbag is inflated,
do not put your head and hands out of the window or being close to the deployment area of the side airbag when the vehicle is in motion. Otherwise, serious casualties may occur to the occupants.
Do not install a seat cover on any seat equipped with side airbag. Otherwise,
it may affect the deployment of side airbag.
Contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet immediately in
the following cases:
- Side airbags have been deployed.
- The door is impacted, though the side airbag is not triggered to deploy.
- The cover of seats at the side airbag assembly has cracks, scratches or other forms of damage.
Before consult an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet, do
not perform the following operations to avoid affecting the normal operation of side airbag:
- Installing electronic devices such as mobile two-way radio communication devices.
- Refit the passenger side body structure.
Side Curtain Airbag
Side curtain airbag provides further protection for the driver, front passenger and rear outboard passenger, based on the safety protection provided by seat belts. In case of a moderate or severe side impact, the side curtain airbag can reduce personal injury by inflating and working together with the seat belts simultaneously. Side curtain airbag can mainly reduce head injuries for driver, front passenger and rear outboard passenger.
Side curtain airbags are mounted on the roof side member on the left and right sides of the vehicle; These side curtain airbags are marked with "AIRBAG".
As the side curtain airbag has considerable speed and force when it
is unfolded, it is prohibited to put your head and hands outside the window or close to the area where the side air curtain is deployed when the vehicle is driving, otherwise serious casualties may occur.
Do not install any decorative parts around the side curtain airbag, such
as windshield, door glass, side pillar, roof side, or stick microphone or any other equipment inside the roof and on auxiliary handles. When the side curtain airbag is deployed, these items will be thrown out under the strong deployment force of side curtain airbag, resulting in personal injuries or malfunction of side curtain airbag.
Contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet immediately in
the following cases:
- Side curtain airbags have been deployed.
- The door is impacted, though the side curtain airbag is not triggered to deploy.
- When the front pillar, rear pillar, roof side member fittings or ceiling fitted with side curtain airbags have cracks, scratches or other forms of damages.
Before consult an authorised
PROTON e.MAS service outlet, do not perform the following operations to avoid affecting the normal operation of side curtain airbag:
- Installing electronic devices such as mobile two-way radio communication devices.
- Refitting the suspension system.
- Repair at or near the bracket.
Deployment of Airbag
Deployment of Front Airbags
When the vehicle impacts with solid wall at a speed of 25 km/h or above, the airbag will be triggered to deploy.
In the event of a collision, the deployment of airbag depends on the collision’s object,
the collision’s direction and the
deceleration speed of vehicle caused by the collision. The front airbag will be deployed in the event of front collision and when the airbag device meets its trigger condition.
Deployment of Side Airbags and Side Curtain Airbags
When the vehicle has a moderate or severe side impact and meets the set trigger value, the side airbag and side curtain airbag will be triggered to deploy.
In case of side impact, the deployment of side airbag and side curtain airbag can reduce the risk of upper body and pelvis injury.
Cases in which Front Airbags May Not Deploy
- The vehicle is not started.
- Collision with deformable objects such as trees.
- When the vehicle collides against low objects such as steps or road dividers.
- When the vehicle falls into a trench or pit suddenly.
- In case of crash (under run crash) against the rear of truck.
- Rollover.
- Side impact, rear impact or slight front impact.
- The airbag system has a failure.
- Other special cases.
Cases in which the Side Airbag and Side Curtain Airbag May Not Deploy
- Nearly front impact.
- Rear impact.
- Rollover.
- Minor side impact.
- The airbag system has a failure.
- Other special cases.

Using The Child Restraint System
Rear-facing Child Restraint System
Rear-facing Child Restraint System provides protection by supporting and
cushioning the child or infant’s back. In
case of a traffic collision, the child restraint system will protect infants by keeping them stay in a proper sitting position in the child safety seat.
Forward-facing Child Restraint System
Forward-facing Child Restraint System provides protection by restraining child’s
body with a suitable seat belt or harness in the child safety seat. In case of a traffic collision, the child restraint system will protect infants by keeping them stay in a proper sitting position in the child safety seat.
Booster Seat
Booster seat is a type of child restraint system that is designed to adjust the seating position of the older children to match the
vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt of the seat
belt. In case of a traffic collision, the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt will primarily restrain the older children.
Precautions for child restraint system: PROTON strongly recommends children to be restrained with child restraint system when travelling with this vehicle for their protection. The aftermarket child restraint system is removable and can be bought by the owner. Only use proper child restraint system that match your child age or body size. If there is no child restraint system available for your child due to their age or size, the child shall be seated in the rear seat and fasten seat belt for safety
purpose. Please refer to Section “Seat Belts” in this chapter for details.
The seat belt or child restraint system (child
safety seat) shall be used properly according to the child’s age and size. Holding the child in your arms or putting
them on your laps cannot replace the child restraint system in terms of safety. In case of traffic collision or emergency braking, the children may impact the windscreen or be squeezed by other passengers.
PROTON strongly recommends the use of child restraint system appropriate to the children body size, and installed in the rear seat. According to the statistics of accidents, it is safer for children to be seated in the rear seats in their child restraint system, or for larger children to be seated in the rear seats and fastening seat belts correctly.
Never install the rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat. Otherwise, in case of an accident, the rapid deployment of the airbag may cause serious injuries or even death to the child.
Unless absolutely necessary, the forward- facing child restraint system cannot be installed in the front seat. Due to the high force generated by the fast deployment of the front passenger airbag, the front passenger seat shall be moved backward as much as possible. Otherwise, airbag will cause serious injuries or even death to the child.
On vehicles equipped with side airbags and side curtain airbags, do not let the child leaning on or being around the door even if a child is sitting in a child restraint system. When the side airbag or side curtain airbag
deploy, its quick strong force will cause serious injuries or death to the child.
Make sure to install devices correctly according to all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer. If the installation is not fixed securely and emergency braking or accidents occur, this may also cause serious injuries or death to the child.
Infants and Younger Children
Everyone in the vehicle should be protected! This includes infants and younger children. Every passenger must use safety protection device.
In any circumstances, do not leave children in the vehicle unattended to
avoid them from playing with the switches and seat belt. If the shoulder belt get twisted around the neck of a child, the child may get strangled and severely injured. The airbag and lap/shoulder belt can provide protection to adults and older children but not for infants and younger children.
The seat belt system and the airbag system of vehicle are not designed for protecting infants or younger children. Infants or younger children shall be protected with a proper child restraint systems every time they travel in vehicles. Child who is not restrained properly may run into other passengers or be thrown out of vehicle in case of collision.
Do not carry an infant or a child in the your arms or on your laps when travelling in this vehicle. Infants or children will become too heavy to carry due to the impact force in case a collision occurs. For example, a 5.5 kg infant could result a sudden 110 kg acting force on the arms of the holder in case of a collision when the vehicle moves at a speed of 40 km/h.
Infants should be restrained in a proper child restraint system.
This vehicle is equipped with a front passenger airbag. Do not use a rear- facing child restraint system on the front
passenger seat.
In case of collision, if the front passenger airbag inflates and contacts the rear-facing child restraint system, the child will be severely injured or killed. A rear-facing child restraint system should be installed in the rear seat. A forward-facing child restraint system should
also be installed in a rear seat if possible.
Infants should be supported comprehensively to lower the risk of getting hurt in the neck and head. In case of collision, infant who is restrained in a rear- facing child restraint system will sit in it steadily and the collision impact will be distributed to most stout positions of the infant, i. e., its back and shoulder. Infants should always be restrained in a rear-facing
child restraint system.
Hip bone of infants is too small. It may be difficult to adjust the vehicle’s seat belt as
low as possible to the lower part of child’s
hip bone (on lap). The seat belt may easily move upward and fasten the abdomen of the infants. In case of collision, the seat belt will apply load on the abdomen and will result in a severe or fatal injury. To lower risk of severe or fatal injuries to infants, the infants shall always be restrained in a proper child restraint system.
Older Children
Older children who cannot be restrained in a proper child restraint system should sit in the rear seat and wear the seat belt.
The manufacturer instructions attached to the child restraint system have the detail descriptions on the body weight and height limits for a child sitting in this child restraint system.
Before a child passes the following applicability test, you should use the child restraint system together with lap belt/ shoulder belt:
- Try to sit in the seat as back as possible. Can the child’s knee bend on the edge of seat? If yes, please go ahead. If not,
please use child restraint system.
- Fasten three-point seat belt properly. Can the shoulder belt be put on child’s shoulder? If yes, please go ahead. If not,
please use child restraint system.
- Should lap belt be fastened as low as possible and cling to child’s hip or just touch the lap (thigh)? If yes, please go
ahead. If not, please use child restraint system.
- Can the seat belt be always fastened properly during entire process? If yes, please go ahead. If not, please use child restraint system.
Question: How to wear seat belt properly? Answer: Older children should wear lap and shoulder belt (the three-point adult seat belt). The shoulder belt should not contact around the face or neck of the child. The lap belt should cling to their hip and just touch
upper part of their thigh; In case of traffic accident, the tighten force of seat belt will only impact on the child's pelvis. Do not
fasten the lap belt on the child’s abdomen
to avoid severe or fatal internal injury to the child in case of collision.
According to accident statistical data, it is safer for children and infants to sit in the child restraint systems in the rear seats. In case of a traffic collision, a child who do not fasten the seat belt properly may run into other passengers who have fastened their seat belts or may be thrown out of the vehicle. Older children should wear the seat belt properly.
Do not fasten the seat belt for older children as shown in previous figure. Never allow two children to share a single seat belt. In case of collision, the seat belt will fail to restrain both children and they will run into each other resulting in severe injury.
One seat belt is meant only for an adult or an older child.
Do not fasten the seat belt for older children as shown in previous figure.
Do not position the shoulder belt to the back of an older child when the seat belt is fastened. In case of collision, the child may move forward excessively resulting in possibility of hurting the child's head and neck. The child may slide under the lap belt. The tightening force of seat belt will impact
on the child’s abdomen resulting in severe
and even fatal injuries. Shoulder belt should be fastened properly across the older
children’s shoulder and chest.
Description of the Child Restraint System
Generally, It is recommended to restrain infants and young children aged 3 to 4 years old in the rear-facing child restraint system. For children who have large body size to fit in a rear-facing child restraint system, use a front-facing child restraint system. For children whose have large body size to fit in the front-facing child restraint system, they can be restrained in a booster seat and fasten the seat belt.
Installation of Child Restraint System
It will be safer if children and infants are properly sitted in a child restraint system on the rear seats.
Before installing a child restraint system on the rear seat, carefully read
the instructions attached to the child restraint system and make sure it is suitable to be installed to this vehicle.

- When the vehicle is trapped (such as in a muddy road) and needed to move the vehicle forward and backward to get out of the trap.
Turning On ESC
In the multimedia display, click the ESC off button to disable the ESC off function. The ESC will automatically turn on and the ESC off indicator will turn off.
Anti Rolling Program (ARP)
The degree of vehicle roll can be calculated by means of signals from the wheel sensors by the anti rolling program to provide additional control of the wheels on the outside of a bend. When the vehicle is about to roll over, the anti rolling program will quickly adjust the braking force distribution between the two wheels, and at the same time reduce the torque output of the drive motor. In this way, the balance of the vehicle can be restored in the shortest possible time, avoiding the vehicle body from rolling over and ensuring the safety of the driver and passengers.
Brake Assist (BA)
During emergency braking, the brake assist system will increase the driver’s braking force and reduce the braking distance.
Brake assist system can only help the driver to increase the braking force. It
does not mean that accidents can be avoided. Therefore, you should always keep the distance from the preceding vehicle and drive carefully.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Traction Control System (TCS) helps the vehicle by preventing loss of traction on the drive wheels. When the system detects that a drive wheel is slipping, it will brake the idle drive wheel to prevent it from idling.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
When starting on a slope and the driver releases the brake pedal, the Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) can maintain the braking force for about two seconds to prevent the vehicle from rolling back.
The hill-start assist control function can only be activated when the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is activated and the electric parking brake
(EPB) is fully released.
The hill-start assist control function only maintains the brake pressure shortly when the driver releases the brake pedal. If the accelerator pedal is not pressed or the electric parking brake (EPB) is not engaged, the vehicle may roll back on the slope after about 2 seconds. Therefore,
drive carefully when starting on the slope!
Hill Descent Control (HDC)
HDC can actively brake the vehicle when it is going downhill to ensure that the driver can drive down the steep slope safely at a constant speed.
- HDC only plays an auxiliary role. At any time, the driver should be responsible for the safety of the vehicle and keep an eye on the surrounding traffic.
- When a slope is too large, HDC may not be able to keep the vehicle driving down the steep slope at a constant speed. Then, the vehicle speed can be controlled by pressing the brake pedal.
Enabling/Disabling System
Click Vehicle Settings → Driving → Driving Scene Assistance to enable/disable the
HDC function in the interface.
- HDC can only be activated when the vehicle speed is less than 35 km/h, and the system will automatically turn off
HDC when the vehicle speed is higher than 60 km/h.
- HDC cannot be enabled or automatically disabled when the brake temperature is too high.
- Turn on the HDC function via the multimedia display, and the HDC indicator on the instrument cluster display does not light up or turns yellow, indicating that the HDC system cannot be enabled.
Hazard Warning (HAZ)
When the vehicle brakes in an emergency, the hazard warning lamp automatically starts flashing to warn the other vehicles coming from behind.
Warning Sound for Pedestrian
When the vehicle is in Drive (D) or Reverse
(R) position and the vehicle speed is less than 30 km/h, the warning sound for pedestrian is activated to alert pedestrians to the approaching vehicle.
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The electric power steering system monitors the driving speed and adjusts the power assistance in real time to ensure the portability of low-speed steering and the stability of high-speed steering, and improve the sense of safety.
If the steering is difficult or the Electric Power Steering (EPS) status indicator of the combination instrument lights up, contact the PROTON service outlet for maintenance in time.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors the tyre pressure through sensors mounted on each wheel valve.
The TPMS sensors feeds tyre pressure information to the meter instrument and will be shown in real time on the meter instrument display.
- Low tyre pressure warning
When the low tyre pressure warning is activated, the TPMS status indicator lamp in meter instrument will continuously illuminate, the buzzer will beep and the meter instrument display will pop up a warning interface. The low tyre pressure warning will turn off after the tyres are inflated to the correct standard tyre pressure value.
- TPMS sensor failure warning
When the TPMS sensor failure warning is activated, the buzzer will beep and the meter instrument display will pop up a warning interface. Please send the vehicle to an authorised PROTON service outlet for repair.
- TPMS abnormal signal warning
When TPMS abnormal signal warning is activated, the TPMS status indicator lamp in the meter instrument will blink for 60 seconds and will stay illuminate later, the buzzer will beep and the meter instrument display will pop up a warning interface.
- Multiple tyre warnings
When TPMS detects multiple tyre warnings, the meter instrument will pop up all warning interfaces according to sequence of the time when the warning was generated.
- High temperature tyre warning
When the high temperature tyre warning is activated, the buzzer will beep and the meter instrument display will pop up a warning interface.
- Tyre rapid pressure relief warning When the tyre rapid pressure relief warning is activated, the buzzer will beep and the meter instrument display will pop up a warning interface.
If the abnormal tyre pressure warning lamp illuminates, this indicates that there one or more tyres has abnormal tyre pressures. At this moment, it is necessary to park the vehicle as soon as possible, inspect the tyre pressures and if any, inflate the tyres to the correct tyre pressure value. Tyre pressure monitoring system of the vehicle can remind you of abnormal tyre pressures but it cannot replace normal tyre maintenance.
Self-Learning of Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
After the vehicle having a tyre rotation service, the tyre pressure monitoring system needs to be self-learned.
The self-learning methods are as follows:
- Drive the vehicle at a speed of 30 km/h or more;
- Driving time should not be less than 20 minutes, and temporary parking should not exceed 10 minutes in total;
- If the tyre pressure monitoring system still fails to recognize the tyre pressure normally after repeating the above operations, please go to an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet for maintenance.
- The recommended tyre pressure value can be viewed from the tyre pressure label on the vehicle.
- Please check the tyre pressure regularly and make sure it is within the specified value range.
- TPMS cannot indicate severe tyre damage that caused by external factors (such as a blowout) in advance, nor can it identify natural, uniform pressure loss over long periods of time in all tyres.
- If the vehicle has just been started, the tyre pressure information displayed on the tyre pressure monitoring interface in the meter instrument are from the previous update. After the vehicle has been driven at a speed of 30 km/h or above for a few minutes, TPMS will gradually update information the pressure and temperature of the four tyres.
- Tyre pressure needs to be adjusted seasonally, inflated in winter and deflated in summer. Tyre should be inflated when they are cold.
- When driving the vehicle in locations with low and high altitudes, it is normal for the tyre pressure warning to occur. In this case, adjust the tyre pressure according to the tyre pressure warning.
- When driving the vehicle in winter, if all four tyres are being replaced with snow tyres (the sensors are not installed on the snow tyres), the meter instrument will prompt that the sensors are missing and pop up a TPMS failure warning interface.
TPMS may work abnormally due to the following reasons:
- Installation of incompatible tyres or modification on wheels.
- Presence of tyre repair fluid or other fluid in the tyre.
- Driving the vehicle with anti-skid chains installed to the tyres.
- Driving in locations with strong radio waves or electrical noise interference such as television stations, airports, etc..
- Installing accessories that cause interference to the vehicle radio receiver or electrical system, etc.
Intelligent Driving System
Medium-range Radar
- Rear side medium-range radar
The Intelligent Driving System detects targets through medium-range radar (also known as mid-range radar) on both rear side of the vehicle. During daily use, please note the followings:
- Severe weather conditions, such as rain, snow, fog, etc., will cause the performance of the rear side medium- range radar to deteriorate. In this case, some targets may not be detected, or being detected too late.
- Keep the rear side medium-range radar clean. The surface area of the rear side medium-range radar should be free from any obstacles and pollutant, otherwise it will affect the performance of the intelligent driving system.
- Under certain environmental influences, the performance of rear and side mid- range radars may deteriorate.
- Do not refit or modify the rear side medium-range radar. The calibration of rear side medium-range radar may be
affected, subject to strong vibration and slight impact.
If the surface area of rear side medium-
range radar is dirty or covered, the meter instrument display will prompt in text and a sound alarm to remind the driver to clean the dirt, or drive on the road for a while after cleaning it.
Blindness of rear side medium-range radar is a normal reaction of vehicle under specific road conditions. Make sure the surface of rear side medium-range radar is clean and then, drive the vehicle under normal road conditions for a period of time. The rear side medium-range radar will automatically return to normal. If the radar cannot recover by itself, please go to the authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet
for inspection and maintenance.
Under the following situations, go to an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet to have the rear side medium-range radar professionally calibrated:
- The rear side medium-range radar has been removed.
- The toe-in and/or rear wheel camber have been adjusted during four-wheel alignment.
- After a collision.
- The Intelligent Driving System is degraded or abnormal.
Front Camera
- Front camera
The Intelligent Driving System use a front camera to identify lane boundaries and detect targets.
Keep the front camera clean, and the front camera's visual field of view shall
not be blocked by pollutants (such as rain, snow, fog, water vapor, ice and frost, leaves, bird droppings, etc.) or strong light interference. Otherwise, it will affect the performance of the Intelligent Driving System. The front camera has blind spot and distance recognition limitation, and cannot effectively identify objects that are beyond or at the limit of the front camera's field of view.
- Under bad weather conditions, such as rain, snow, fog and dust, the recognition capability of front camera will be affected, which may degrade the system performance or exit the function. The driver should always monitor the vehicle status and take over the vehicle.
- If a system failure occurs in the front camera, the meter instrument display will prompt in text. Go to an authorised
PROTON e.MAS service outlet for maintenance.
- In order to protect the electronic components, the system function will be temporarily unavailable when the front camera is at extremely high temperature. The meter instrument display will prompt in text. When the temperature drops sufficiently, the front camera unit will automatically restart and the system function will return to normal.
- If the front camera is blocked, enters a dark environment, the light environment suddenly changes, or is interfered by strong light, it may cause the system performance to degrade or exiting from the function. The driver should always monitor the vehicle status and take over the vehicle.
- Do not modify the front camera. When the front camera is subject to strong vibration and slight impact, the calibration will be affected and may need to be re-calibrated. Deformation, damage, replacement and coating of the front windshield may also cause inaccurate recognition.
Blindness of front camera is a normal
reaction under certain conditions.
Without blocking the view of front camera, the driver may avoid dark surrounding and direct sunlight, and then the system will recover itself. If it cannot be recovered, go to an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet for maintenance.
When the vehicle power mode is turned on, the Intelligent Driving System needs to be initialized, and it cannot
work normally during initialization process. Adaptive Cruise Control
System (ACC)
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system can control the vehicle speed based on the set speed and the set headway (following distance with other vehicle ahead) in the range of 0 ~ 150 km/h.
ACC mainly provides driving assistance for the driver on highways or elevated roads with good road conditions. The driver should keep control of the vehicle at all times.
ACC uses front camera to detect the vehicle ahead and maintain the headway set by the driver through automatic speed adjustment function. The driver can control the vehicle at any time according to driving conditions.
When the vehicle power mode is turned on, ACC will start self-check,
and the system function is not available at this stage.
- ACC is only an assistance system instead of an emergency warning and collision avoidance system, which can not substitute the driver. The driver must always keep control of vehicle and take full driving responsibility for vehicle operation. The driver should drive according to laws and regulations.
- ACC does not work for vehicles or objects crossing carriageway.
- The change of vehicle posture due to excessive load in the luggage area will deteriorate or invalidate the target recognition of ACC system.
- When suddenly accelerating and approaching the vehicle ahead at high speed (an obvious speed difference with the vehicle ahead), the driver should brake in time.
- When driving on a steep downslope, it may be difficult for this function to keep a proper distance from the vehicle ahead. Under such circumstances, be extra careful and be ready to brake at any time. Never use ACC when the vehicle is under heavy load.
- ACC cannot recognize pedestrians, two- wheeled vehicles (such as bicycle), three-wheeled vehicles (such as tricycles), vehicles loaded with irregularly shaped goods or special-shaped vehicles, animals, objects scattered on the road, overturned vehicles, people standing next to or behind the vehicle, etc.
- ACC has a poor recognition rate for stationary or slow-moving vehicles and cannot recognize oncoming vehicles. When using the ACC function, driver needs to always pay attention to the road conditions and vehicle status, and ready to control the vehicle in time.
- When ACC works, if the driver press the accelerator pedal, the vehicle control will be taken over by the driver, and respond
to the driver’s acceleration desire. The
control function of ACC will not work.
- When entering or exiting a curve, the target selection may be delayed or disturbed. ACC may have unexpected braking or late braking.
- In some cases (the speed of preceding vehicle is too low relative to your own vehicle, and the preceding vehicle jumps into the lane closely, etc.), ACC system does not have enough time to reduce the relative speed. In this case, the driver must respond appropriately.
- If the preceding vehicle suddenly brakes, ACC may fail to respond timely or react too slowly. In this case, the driver will not receive the takeover request. The driver should press the brake pedal for emergency braking.
- At a sharp turn, e. g. a serpentine road, ACC cannot detect the preceding vehicle normally due to the visual field limit of front camera, which may lead to the acceleration of ACC vehicle. The driver is required to respond appropriately based on actual conditions.
- If the distance between the ACC vehicle and the adjacent lane is too small (or the vehicle on the adjacent lane is too close to the lane of ACC vehicle), ACC system may react to that vehicle and brake.
In following situations, the driver must be more alert:
- When ACC is activated and confirmed to start with the vehicle is stationary, if there are pedestrians, children, animals, two- wheeled vehicles (such as bicycle), three-wheeled vehicles (such as tricycles) or obstacles ahead, the ACC cannot detect and identify them, and there is a serious collision risk. The driver must confirm the area ahead of vehicle is safe before activating ACC to control the vehicle when starting to drive.
- In cases where the vehicle speed is high, if the right turn signal lamp is activated when overtaking from the right, ACC will automatically accelerate the vehicle and reduce the distance to the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle enters the overtaking lane and there is no vehicle ahead, ACC will automatically accelerate to the set cruise speed.
- ACC cannot detect the items loaded or accessories mounted on the target vehicle that protrude from its side, rear end or roof. If the preceding vehicle has the above-mentioned special load or equipment, ACC must be turned off when overtaking such vehicles.
- After the system requires the driver to take over the vehicle, if the vehicle continues to move, the driver must apply the brake pedal to brake.
- Structural modification of vehicle, such as lowering the chassis height, adding any object (sticker, etc) to front windshield or changing the front windshield, may affect the ACC system.

- Press OK button to enable the ACC. The longitudinal control indicator on the meter instrument display will turn on in grey, indicating that ACC is in standby mode.
- Press the ACC speed decrease button to activate ACC and set cruise speed. The cruise system longitudinal control indicator on the meter instrument display will turn to green.
If the vehicle speed is below 30 km/h, the default set cruise speed is 30 km/h. If the vehicle speed is between 30 km/h and 150 km/h, the current vehicle speed will be the set cruise speed.
- ACC will control the vehicle according to the set cruise speed.
ACC Speed Setting
Press the ACC speed increase and resume button or ACC speed decrease button to set the desired cruise speed.
ACC Reminder and Indicator
- Set Cruise Speed indicator
If ACC is not activated (in standby mode), the set cruise speed indicator is grey.
If ACC is activated, the set cruise speed indicator turns to green.
- Cruise System Longitudinal Control indicator
If ACC is enabled but not activated (in standby mode), this indicator illuminates in grey.
If ACC is activated, it turns to green.
- Preceding Vehicle Image
The preceding vehicle image will turn on in blue when the ACC is activated and following the front vehicle as target.
If the distance between the vehicle and the preceding vehicle is too close, the preceding vehicle image is yellow.
If the distance between the two vehicles is too close and the driver’s active takeover is required (such as pressing
brake pedal), the preceding vehicle image will turn to red.
Once the driver press accelerator pedal to control the vehicle, the preceding vehicle image turns to grey.
- Following Distance (Headway) Headway has three levels: near, medium and far. Every time the vehicle is started, the default ACC headway is based on the memorized driver's selection status.
In addition, if ACC or ICC has not been activated during vehicle power mode ON cycle, and the vehicle speed is below 30 km/ h, the set cruise speed displayed in the meter instrument is 30 km/h.
When the speed of the vehicle is above 30 km/h, the set cruise speed changes with the speed shown at meter instrument (current vehicle speed).
In any case, the driver must keep sufficient braking distance from the preceding vehicle and follow relevant requirements of local highway traffic regulations on the minimum distance or the shortest headway distance. It is the
driver’s responsibility to abide by the law.
Using the ACC Speed Control
Accelerating Mode
Acceleration can be performed in two ways:
- Method 1: Press the accelerator pedal for active acceleration. In case of active acceleration, the driver takes control of vehicle and the meter instrument shows the active vehicle acceleration speed. After the driver releases the accelerator pedal, ACC continues to control the vehicle to cruise.
- Method 2: While the vehicle is running with ACC set cruise speed, briefly press the ACC speed increase and resume button to slightly accelerate. Short press once will increase the vehicle speed by 5 km/h. Long press the button will increase the vehicle speed continuously by step of 1 km/h until the button is released. The maximum set cruise speed is 150 km/h.
Overtaking Assist Mode
While ACC controls this vehicle and it follows a preceding vehicle, if you turn on the right turn signal lamp, ACC will accelerate this vehicle before it reaches the overtaking lane to assist the driver until this vehicle completes changing lane.
To enable the overtaking assist mode, the following conditions must be met at least:
- There must be a target vehicle ahead.
- The current vehicle speed exceeds 60 km/h.
- The current lane is dotted.
- The set cruise speed should be high enough for a safe overtaking.
- Turn on the right turn signal lamp.
During overtaking assist mode, unexpected acceleration may occur in the following situations, which requires special attention of the driver. Therefore, during the overtaking assist mode, the driver should prepare for sudden change of conditions and control the vehicle in time.
- The vehicle is approaching the turning exit, and the exit direction is the same as that of usual overtaking.
- Before the vehicle passes through and enters the overtaking lane, the speed of preceding vehicle decreases.
- The speed of other vehicle in the overtaking lane decreases.
During overtaking assist mode, unexpected deceleration may occur in the following situations, which requires special attention of the driver. Therefore, during overtaking assist mode, the driver should prepare for sudden change of conditions and control the vehicle in time.
- The speed of vehicle in the overtaking lane is lower than your vehicle speed.
- The longitudinal distance between the vehicle in the overtaking lane and your own vehicle is close.
- The vehicle in the overtaking lane is large with long body, and parallel to your own vehicle.
During overtaking assist mode, the driver needs to control the lane
change on their own.
Please note that this function can be enabled in more situations besides overtaking. For example, when the right turn signal indicator is turned on to change lanes or enter another road, the vehicle will briefly
accelerate.
Stop and Go Mode
During cruise following mode, if the preceding vehicle brakes and stops gradually, ACC will follow the preceding vehicle to stop gradually and keep a safe distance from it.
- Within 5 seconds after following and stopping, if the preceding vehicle resumes moving forward, ACC will follow to resume cruising automatically.
- If the vehicle stops for more than 5 seconds, when the preceding vehicle
resumes moving forward, the driver needs to step on the accelerator pedal or press the ACC speed increase and resume button to resume cruising.
- In ACC stop and go mode, if the driver actively exits the ACC function, the vehicle will not move automatically. If the accelerator pedal is pressed at this time, the vehicle will start to move, and the driver needs to take control of the vehicle and drive safely.
ACC cannot recognize stationary vehicles, and cannot brake against stationary vehicles.
After the vehicle stopped, ACC can still control the vehicle to move, which
may result in uncontrolled vehicle movement and may cause traffic accidents, serious injury or fatality.
ACC will have unexpected acceleration in the following situations. Please be highly alert and take
active braking:
- When ACC follows another moving vehicle as a target and this target changes from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, ACC will ignore the stationary vehicle and continue cruising at the cruise speed set by the driver.
- When the following preceding vehicle makes a turn at a low speed at an intersection and the ACC following target disappears due to the turning of this preceding vehicle, ACC will accelerate the vehicle based on the set cruise speed.
Deceleration Mode
While driving in ACC set cruise speed, briefly press the ACC speed decrease button to slightly decelerate the vehicle speed. Every brief press will reduce the vehicle speed by 5 km/h. Long press the button will reduce the vehicle speed continuously by step of 1 km/h until the button is released. The minimum set cruise speed is 30 km/h.
Restoring the Set Cruise Speed
If the driver has set the ACC to the required cruise speed and then press brake pedal or press the cancel button, the ACC system will be deactivated. However, the set cruise speed has been stored in ACC system memory. The set cruise speed will continue to be displayed on the meter instrument display. To activate ACC and resume cruising as per the last set cruise speed, press the ACC speed increase and resume button.
Exiting the ACC
The following methods can deactivate ACC:
- Press the brake pedal to exit the ACC system.
- Press the cancel button on the left side of steering wheel to exit the ACC system.
The ACC system is dependent on the operation of other systems, such as the electronic stability control system (ESC). If any of these systems stop working, ACC will be automatically deactivated.
In case of automatic deactivation, a sound signal is given and the meter instrument display shows a text message. The driver
must intervene to match the speed and the distance to the preceding vehicle.
If the front camera has a system failure, in low light, directly under strong light, blocked by objects, or under alternating light conditions, ACC may be affected and unavailable.
Possible reasons for disabling ACC (including but not limited to):
- Any door, hood or tailgate is opened.
- Driver’s seat belt is unfastened
- The wheels losses road holding (traction force).
- The brake system performance is degraded or faulty.
- Parking brake is applied
- Front camera is covered by wet snow or heavy rain.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system functions or is turned off.
- Hill Descent Control (HDC) function is turned on.
Detection Problems
The detection ability of front camera is limited. In some cases, the front camera may fail to detect vehicles or delay the detection of vehicles.
Detection problems may occur in the following situations:
- Vehicles move slowly along the driver’s lane. The system can only detect the vehicle that has fully entered the driver’s lane.
- When the front vehicle is a large truck, the time of detecting the vehicle may be delayed.
- When the driver enters or exits a curve, detection problems related to the preceding vehicle may occur.
When the vehicle power mode is turned on, the front camera needs initialization, and the preceding vehicle cannot be detected during a certain period of time for initialization.
Under such circumstances (as above), the driver should keep alert. Take emergency measures and temporarily turn off ACC if necessary.
Intelligent Cruise Control System (ICC)
The Intelligent Cruise Control System (ICC) can simultaneously perform cruise control and direction assist control on the vehicle within the range of 0 ~ 150 km/h. The system can control the speed of the vehicle according to the set speed and the time interval for vehicle following, and perform steering wheel assist control according to the lane lines on the left and right sides. Offset control will be provided when
overtaking a truck, and an alarm prompt is given when the driver’s move hands away from the steering wheel.
The ICC system mainly provides driving assistance for the driver on highways or elevated roads with good road conditions.
When the vehicle is powered on, the ICC system will start self-check, and
the system function is not available at this stage.
- The ICC function is more suitable for use on expressways and roads with access restriction. At the same time, the driver needs to concentrate on driving, and ensure quick take-over of the vehicle when an emergency occurs.
- The ICC system is only an assistance system instead of an emergency warning and collision avoidance system. The driver should drive according to laws and regulations.
- The ICC system does not work for vehicles or objects crossing carriageway.
- The change of vehicle posture due to excessive load in the luggage area will
degrade or invalidate the target recognition of the ICC system.
- If another vehicle cuts into the front of vehicle at low speed, the ICC system may not work. The driver is required to brake in time.
- When suddenly accelerating and approaching the vehicle ahead at high speed (an obvious speed difference with the vehicle ahead), the driver should brake in time.
- When driving on a steep downslope, it may be difficult to keep a proper distance from the vehicle ahead. In these situations, be particularly careful and always be ready to brake. It is prohibited to use the ICC system under heavy load.
- The ICC system cannot recognize pedestrians, tricycles and vehicles loaded with irregularly shaped goods or vehicle variants, also including animals, objects scattered on the road, overturned vehicle, the person standing next to or behind a vehicle.
- The ICC system has a poor recognition rate for stationary or slowly moving vehicles, and cannot recognize oncoming vehicles. During the use of the ICC function, the driver should always pay attention to the road conditions and vehicle status, and take over the vehicle in time.
- When the intelligent cruise assist system is working, it is determined that the driver takes over the steering wheel or wants to change lanes once he/she turns the steering wheel. And, in order to improve the driving experience, the vehicle will be
taken over by the driver to respond to the driver's needs. The lateral control function of the intelligent cruise assist system will not work, and the driver has to perform direction control, as the system will not be able to keep the vehicle in its own lane.
- When the ICC system works, if the driver depresses the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will be taken over by the driver,
and respond to the driver’s acceleration
desire. The speed control function of the ICC system will not work.
- When entering/exiting a curve, the target selection may be delayed or disturbed. The ICC system may have unexpected braking or late braking.
- If the preceding vehicle suddenly brakes, the ICC system may fail to respond timely or react too slowly. In this case, the driver needs to perform braking actively.
- At a sharp turn, e. g. a serpentine road, the ICC system cannot detect the preceding vehicle normally due to the visual field limit of front camera, which may cause the ICC system to accelerate vehicle. The driver is required to respond appropriately based on actual conditions.
In following situations, the driver must be more alert:
- When the ICC system is activated with the vehicle stationary and confirmed to start, if there are pedestrians, children, animals, two-wheeled vehicles, tricycles or obstacles ahead of vehicle, the ICC system cannot detect and identify them,
and there is a serious collision risk. The driver must first confirm that the area in front of the vehicle is safe, and then activate the ICC system to control the vehicle to start off.
- If the right turn signal lamp is turned on when overtaking from the right, the ICC system will automatically accelerate the vehicle and shorten the distance from the preceding vehicle. If the vehicle enters the overtaking lane and there is no vehicle ahead, the ICC system will automatically accelerate to the set cruise speed.
- The ICC system cannot detect the items loaded or accessories mounted on the target vehicle that protrude from its side, rear end or roof. If the preceding vehicle has the above-mentioned special load or equipment, the ICC system must be turned off when overtaking such vehicles.
- After the system requires the driver to take over the vehicle, if the vehicle continues to move, the driver must apply the brake pedal to brake.
- Structural modification of vehicle, such as lowering the chassis height or changing the front license plate mounting board, may affect the ICC system.
Under the following road conditions, the performance of the ICC function
will degrade or fail to work normally. The driver should keep alert:
- The ICC system is inapplicable to roads with excessively small curve radius.
- The ICC system is inapplicable to roads with invisible lane lines.
- The ICC system is inapplicable to intersections of roads.
- The ICC system is inapplicable to roads with vehicle marks (e.g., tyre marks).
- The ICC system is inapplicable to roads of which the lanes increase or decrease.
- The ICC system is inapplicable to roads that the original lane and the new lane have large difference.
- The ICC system may recognize road edges (wall, guardrail, curb, grassland, green belt, asphalt seam connection) as lane lines to work.
- The ICC system is inapplicable to pavements with potholes, bumps, undulations.
- The ICC system cannot recognize road signs and obstacles (such as cone barrels, water hoses, road reflective column), so it is not applicable to construction pavement.
- The ICC system is inapplicable to ultra- wide and ultra-narrow roads.
- The ICC system is inapplicable to zigzag roads.
- The ICC system is inapplicable to bad weather with reduced visibility.
- The ICC system cannot be applied to sudden changes in light, including but not limited to tunnel access/exit.
- When the ICC system follows the preceding vehicle to cross the intersection, your vehicle will move laterally with the preceding vehicle. There is risk of side collision with the adjacent lane. The driver needs to
supervise and take control of the function.
- At the entrance of highway or trunk road, due to the change of road, the ICC system cannot provide direction assist and will be degraded to cruise control.
- The ICC system cannot work under complex road conditions, e. g.: severely congested road, entering or exit tunnel, complicated traffic changes, crossing, intersections, ramps, lost lane lines, etc. The driver needs to supervise and take control of the function. The ICC system only provides comfort experience when the road conditions are suitable, and the driver should take full responsibility for safe driving.

If the vehicle speed is below 30 km/h, the set cruise speed is 30 km/h. If the vehicle speed is between 30 km/h and 150 km/h, the current vehicle speed will be the set cruise speed.
- ICC will control the vehicle according to the set cruise speed.
ICC Speed Setting
Press the ICC speed increase and resume button or ICC speed decrease button to set the desired cruise speed.
ICC Reminder and Indicator
During cruising, as the relative vehicle speed varies, the meter instrument will display different distance states from the
preceding vehicle to your own vehicle to remind the driver.
- Set Cruise Speed indicator
If ACC is not activated (in standby mode), the set cruise speed indicator is grey.
If ACC is activated, the set cruise speed indicator turns to green.
- Cruise System Lateral Control indicator Grey when ICC is not activated (system in standby mode).
Green when ICC performs cruise control and lane keep assist at the same time.
When ICC only perform cruise control (lateral control LKA not function), this indicator turns black.
- Preceding Vehicle Image
The preceding vehicle image is grey when ICC is not activated and will turn on in blue when the ICC is activated and following the front vehicle as target.
If the distance between the vehicle and the preceding vehicle is too close, the preceding vehicle image is yellow.
If the distance between the two vehicles is too close and the driver’s active
takeover is required (such as pressing brake pedal), the preceding vehicle image will turn to red.
- Following Distance (Headway)
It is divided into three levels: near, medium and far. Every time the vehicle is started, the time interval for ICC is far by default.
Headway has three levels: near, medium and far. Every time the vehicle is started, the default headway for ICC system is the far level.
- Lane Shading
The indicator is in low light if the ICC is not activated. It is in high light (bright illumination) if ICC is activated.
- Lane line
No lane line is displayed when ICC does not detect any lane line. When ICC system is not activated, the lane line is displayed in grey or white
When the ICC is activated, the lane line is displayed in blue. Red when the lane departure warning is triggered and the vehicle deviates from the lane.
In addition, if ACC or ICC has not been activated during vehicle power mode ON cycle, and the vehicle speed is below 30 km/ h, the set cruise speed displayed in the meter instrument is 30 km/h.
When the speed of the vehicle is above 30 km/h, the set cruise speed changes with the speed shown at meter instrument (current vehicle speed).
In any case, the driver must keep sufficient braking distance from the preceding vehicle and follow relevant requirements of local highway traffic
regulations on the minimum distance or the
shortest headway distance. It is the driver’s responsibility to abide by the law.
Offset Control
For vehicles with offset control function, when the vehicle wants to overtake the preceding truck, trailer or other large vehicle (or be overtaken by a large vehicle) with the intelligent cruise control system activated, the system controls the vehicle to actively stay away from the large vehicle in its own lane, and controls the vehicle to return to the middle of its own lane again after overtaking a certain distance. This process does not require any operation by the driver.
This function can only be automatically turned on when the vehicle speed exceeds 50 km/h, and it is the driver's responsibility to keep his hand on the steering wheel and concentrate on
driving.
Steering Release Warning
When the intelligent cruise control system is activated, it requires you to hold the steering wheel in your hand. If hands are not detected on the steering wheel for a long time, relevant reminder messages will appear on the meter instrument display.
When both hands are detected, the relevant reminder messages will disappear and the intelligent cruise control
system will continue to work.
The function detects that the driver has been in a hands-off state for a certain period of time, and then triggers a first-level steering release warning.
If the function detects that the driver has been in the hands-off state for a certain period of time after the first-level steering release warning occurs, the second-level steering release warning will be triggered at this time.
After the function detects that the driver is still in hands-off state within a certain period of time after the second-level steering release warning occurs. The intelligent cruise control function will light up the hazard warning light, and exit the function after controlling the vehicle to slow down to
0 in this lane. Then, horizontal and longitudinal control are no longer provided until the driver activates the function again.
- Potholes, protrusions, and undulating roads may cause delay or interruption of steering release warning.
- If you gently hold the steering wheel for a long time, you may falsely alarm the steering release warning.
- When the vehicle speed is lower than 10 km/h, there is no steering release warning function.
Exiting the ICC
The following methods can deactivate the ICC:
- Press the brake pedal to exit the ICC system.
- Press the cancel button on the left side of steering wheel to exit the ICC.
The ICC system is dependent on the operation of other systems, such as the electronic stability control system (ESC). If any of these systems stop working, ICC will be automatically deactivated.
In case of automatic deactivation, a sound signal is given and the meter instrument display shows a text message. The driver must intervene to match the speed and the distance to the preceding vehicle.
Possible reasons for disabling intelligent cruise control (including but not limited to):
- Any door, hood or tailgate is opened.
- Driver’s seat belt is unfastened
- The wheels losses road holding (traction force).
- The brake system performance is degraded or faulty.
- Parking brake is applied
- Front camera is covered by wet snow or heavy rain.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system functions or is turned off.
- Hill Descent Control (HDC) function is turned on.
Detection Problems
The detection ability of front camera is limited. In some cases, the front camera may fail to detect vehicles or delay the detection of vehicles.
Detection problems may occur in the following situations:
- Vehicles move slowly along the driver’s lane. The system can only detect the vehicle that has fully entered the driver’s lane.
- When the front vehicle is a large truck, the time of detecting the vehicle may be delayed.
- When the driver enters or exits a curve, detection problems related to the preceding vehicle may occur.
Under such circumstances, the driver should keep alert. Take emergency measures and temporarily turn off ICC if necessary.
- For roads with invisible lane lines.
- For roads with intersections.
- For roads with vehicle marks (e. g., tyre marks).
- For roads that the original lane and the new lane have large difference.
- Potholes, bumps, undulating pavement.
- Construction roads, cone barrels, water hoses, road isolation columns and other road conditions.
- For ultra-wide and ultra-narrow roads.
- For zigzag roads.
- Roads with too small curves (such as ramps, roads around mountains, etc.).
- An intersection or fork road.
- Road with broken and unclear lane lines.
- The driver controls the vehicle actively. The front camera has limited detection ability. In some cases, the front camera may not be able to accurately judge lane lines,
and it’s easy to be interfered by the
environment.
Lane line detection problems may occur in the following situations:
- Lane lines are not constructed according to national standards and cannot be recognized.
- Lane lines are unrecognizable due to low clarity and contrast.
- The surface of lane lines is covered by dust, water, snow, etc., and cannot be recognized.
- In rain and snow days, the wheel marks and braking marks of preceding vehicles may be recognized as lane lines.
- Road boundaries, curbs, etc., may be recognized as lane lines.
- Continuous lane-line-shaped shadows on road, such as the shadow of railings, may be recognized as lane lines.
Function Switch
The system will automatically switch the intelligent driving function according to the
current road conditions, and it will downgrade to adaptive cruise function when operating conditions of intelligent cruising assistance function are not met. You can confirm which intelligent driving function is currently enabled via the meter instrument. When any of the following occurs, including but not limited to, it will downgraded to adaptive cruise control function:
- The lane markings are confused or the lane markings are incorrectly classified.
- The lane markings on both sides are not clear or the lane markings are missing.
- When driving on sharp curves or continuous curves.
- The driver turns the steering wheel on his own initiative.
When the intelligent cruise assist function is activated, the meter instrument displays a white or gray intelligent cruise assist indicator and a green cruise speed value, indicating that the vehicle can only achieve the function of adaptive cruise control, and cannot achieve the function of keeping the vehicle in its own
lane.
Lane Keep Assist System (LKA)
The Lane Keep Assist System can recognize lane lines, pedestrians, curbs, front/rear incoming vehicles, and calculate the distance from the vehicle to the left/right lane line and front/rear incoming vehicles via front camera and rear side medium- range radar when the vehicle speed is high than 65 km/h. When the vehicle deviates from the lane or is about to collide with pedestrians, vehicles in the adjacent lane, the system will give a corrective assist force to prevent the lane deviation, mitigate or avoid collision, or remind the driver to keep the vehicle in the lane. The Lane Keep Assist System consists of Lane Keep Assist, lane departure warning, and lane keeping emergency assist.
When the vehicle is powered on, the Lane Keep Assist System will start
self-check, and the system function is not available at this stage.
Make sure the front camera surface is clean. Dirty front camera, bad weather conditions and fading lane lines, may affect the performance of Lane Keep Assist
System.
The Lane Keep Assist System is only suitable for use on expressways and
main urban roads, and the driver needs to concentrate on driving the vehicle. When using Lane Keep Assist, you should hold the steering wheel and keep an eye on the road and surrounding traffic. Do not use this feature on city streets, construction areas, narrow roads, or road sections where
cyclists or pedestrians may be present. It is strictly forbidden to rely on the Lane Keep Assist System to determine the appropriate driving route. Be sure to take measures at any time and in a timely manner. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious property damage and personal injuries or even death.
When the electronic stability control system (ESC) is off, the lane departure prevention (LDP) and emergency
Lane Keep Assist (ELKA) cannot work.
Function Types
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) warns the driver when the vehicle deviates from the lane unconsciously. Unconscious lane departure includes the already happened lane departure and the imminent lane departure.
Lane departure prevention (LDP)
As for lane departure prevention (LDP), when the vehicle approaches lane lines and there is a risk of deviation, the system will assist the driver to control the vehicle back to the lane by applying torque to steering wheel.
Emergency Lane Keep Assist (ELKA)
Emergency Lane Keep Assist (ELKA) can help the vehicle back to its own lane in the following situations:
- The vehicle is about to rush out of the road or collide with the edge of roads.
- Unintentional deviation from the lane and there may be a collision with the opposite vehicle.
- Unintentional deviation from the lane and there may be a collision with the vehicle
behind (this item is only for vehicles with rear side medium-range radar).
- Unintentional deviation from the lane and there may be a collision with the pedestrians in the adjacent lane.
ELKA cannot cope with all situations under all kinds of traffic, weather and
road conditions.
This function cannot detect fences, railings or similar obstacles on the
roadside.
ELKA is only enabled when a high risk of collision exists, so do not wait for
this function to intervene.
The driver shall always keep their attention and judgment to ensure vehicle travels safely, keeps a proper distance from other vehicles, and adheres to
current traffic laws and regulations.
Function Selection
You can click on the multimedia display: Vehicle Settings → Driving Assistance →
Safety Settings → Lane Keep Assist, and
then choose to turn on or off Lane Keep Assist and lane keeping emergency assist in the interface; No warning, sound and
steering wheel vibration setting are available for lane departure warning system. If lane departure warning (LDW) and lane departure prevention (LDP) are enabled, the Lane Keep Assist (LKA) status indicator on the meter instrument display turns off.
Lane Keep Assist, lane keeping emergency assist and lane departure warning functions will memorize the driver's
selection status.
Lane Keep Assist System Display
The Lane Keep Assist System will display the information of system working status on meter instrument.
When the lane departure warning or lane departure prevention is activated, the Lane Keep Assist (LKA) system status indicator 1 does not turn on; When the lane departure prevention system has any fault, the Lane Keep Assist System (LKA) status indicator 1 lights up in yellow; If any of the lane departure warning and lane departure prevention is turned off, the Lane Keep Assist (LKA) system status indicator 1 does
turn on in yellow and displays “OFF”.
When the Lane Keep Assist System does not detect the lane lines, the lane lines 2 are not displayed.
When Lane Keep Assist System is not activated, the lane lines 2 are displayed in gray.
When Lane Keep Assist System is on standby, the lane lines 2 on both side are displayed in white.
When the lane departure warning system is activated, the lane lines 2 on the corresponding side are displayed in red.
When lane departure prevention system (LDP) is activated, the lane lines 2 on the corresponding side are displayed in blue.
Hands-off Warning
When the Lane Keep Assist System is activated, the driver should always hold the steering wheel with both hands. If the system does not detect hands on the steering wheel when Lane Keep Assist is activated for the first time, there will be a visual reminder in the instrument cluster, such as turning the lane line blue. If the Lane Keep Assist is activated again in the
next period of time, and the system still does not detect the driver’s hands on the
steering wheel, the system requests and gives an audible warning, and displays relevant reminder on the meter instrument.
When both hands are detected, the reminder displayed on the meter
instrument will disappear.
Abnormal tire pressure, incorrect four- wheel alignment parameters, inconsistent tires and incorrect tire model, etc., may result in abnormal performance of Lane Keep Assist System. The driver shall use the assist system when the vehicle is in
normal condition.
System Limitation
Under the following road conditions, the LKA performance will degrade or fail to work. The driver should keep alert:
- The Lane Keep Assist System is inapplicable to roads with heavy snow.
- The Lane Keep Assist System is inapplicable to roads with excessively small curve radius.
- The Lane Keep Assist System is inapplicable to roads with invisible lane lines
- The Lane Keep Assist System is inapplicable to intersections of roads.
- The Lane Keep Assist System is inapplicable to roads with vehicle marks (e.g., tire marks).
- The Lane Keep Assist System is inapplicable to roads of which the lanes increase or decrease.
- The Lane Keep Assist System is inapplicable to roads that the original lane and the new lane have large difference.
- The Lane Keep Assist System is inapplicable to pavements with potholes, bumps, undulations.
- The Lane Keep Assist System cannot recognize road signs (cones), so it is not applicable to construction pavement.
- The Lane Keep Assist System is inapplicable to ultra-wide/ultra-narrow roads.
- The Lane Keep Assist System is inapplicable to zigzag pavements.
- The Lane Keep Assist System is inapplicable to bad weather with reduced visibility.
- The field of view of the front camera and the rear side mid-range radar cannot be obstructed by pollutants. Especially,
when it’s completely covered by snow,
the Lane Keep Assist System will exit, and the information of system exiting.
- The installation of front camera and rear side medium-range radar may be affected by vibration or impact, which will degrade the system performance. At this time, it is necessary to recalibrate the front camera and rear side medium- range radar.
Collision Mitigation Support Front (CMSF)
The front collision mitigation assist system can warn drivers to pay attention to pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles through sound, image and braking. In case of late braking by driver, excessively small braking force or no braking action at all, the system will act to assist the driver to avoid or mitigate the collision, and help the driver.
When the vehicle is powered on, the collision mitigation support front system will start self-check, and the system
function is not available at this stage.
- This function is auxiliary and cannot cope with all weather and road conditions.
- The driver is recommended to read all the chapters related to this function in this manual to understand the factors such as function limitation and all the knowledge required before the use of this system.
- The collision mitigation support front system cannot replace the attention and judgment of driver. The driver is always responsible for maintaining proper speed and distance, and complying with traffic laws and regulations.
- No system can guarantee to operate 100% properly under any circumstances. Therefore, please do not intentionally drive the vehicle toward people or objects to test the CMSF performance. Otherwise, accidents may occur and result in casualties.
- For safety concern, the system cannot work when the driver does not wear the seat belt.
- Usually, CMSF system works in the background and is unnoticeable to the driver. When the system recognizes a danger, it will warn or brake to protect the passengers. Due to system performance limitations, false triggers may occur. The driver must pay close attention to the surrounding at all times. To avoid false triggering, the braking intervention time
Function Settings
may be slightly later than the expected time, so the driver needs to respond in time instead of relying on assist driving functions.
- The system will not react to animals, small vehicles (such as tricycles), vehicles with irregular appearance (such as super large vehicles or tractors, trailers, tractors, mud trucks, sanitation trucks, sprinkler trucks), cyclists, oncoming and crossing vehicles.
- For the effective target recognized by the system, due to different vehicles, pedestrians, scenes and road conditions, the system cannot always achieve the same performance.
- The function will not be enabled when the vehicle is driving at a low speed.
The collision mitigation support front is a safety system, and the function is enabled by default every power on cycle.
If CMSF has faults, this indicator on the meter instrument lights up. The driver shall contact an authorized PROTON service outlet for maintenance as soon as
possible.
Click on the multimedia display: Vehicle Settings → Assisted Driving → Safety
Settings → Pre-collision Assist, and set the
alarm timing under the front collision warning setting interface. When no alarm is selected, the alarm timing will automatically recover moderately after the vehicle is powered on .
The timing of front collision warning is divided into four levels: no alarm, late, moderate and early.
No alarm: It indicates that no alarm is needed.
Late: indicates a short alarm distance and the alarm time is relatively late.
Medium: indicates a moderate alarm distance and the alarm time is between early and late.
Early: indicates a far alarm distance and the alarm time is relatively early.
If the driver thinks the alarm is too frequent, a lower sensitivity can be selected to reduce the total alarms.
Function composition
When a danger is judged by the system, the system will assist the driver in the following ways:
- Safe distance alarm
The safe distance alarm works in a non- emergency situation. When the vehicle speed reaches 65 km/h or above, it reminds the driver that the following distance is too small, and the driver should adjust the driving behavior and keep a proper distance.
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
When the vehicle speed reaches 10 km/h or above, the system considers that there is potential collision risk, and it will prompt the driver of potential collision risk through alarm sound, alarm picture on meter instrument interface and short brake, etc.
- Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
When the vehicle speed reaches 4 km/h
or above, if a danger occurs, but the driver’s current braking force is too small, the system will assist the driver to
increase braking force to avoid or mitigate the collision.
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) When a danger occurs but the driver fails to perform effective braking, the system will intervene timely by automatic emergency braking to avoid or mitigate collision. Automatic emergency braking
reduces speeds by up to 60 km/h.
Function activation
CMSF working speed
The target ahead is a vehicle: When the vehicle speed is 4 km/h~150 km/h, the CMSF system will work. Beyond this range, the CMSF system will not work.
The target ahead is pedestrian and two- wheeled vehicle: When the vehicle speed is
4 km/h~90 km/h, the CMSF system will work. Beyond this range, the CMSF system will not work.
When the front collision warning function detects a collision risk, it will remind the driver to react in time through sound, pictures on meter instrument and short braking to reduce the collision risk. If the driver applies insufficient braking or no braking, the emergency brake assist or automatic emergency brake will actively intervene to mitigate or avoid collision, and there will be pictures and text prompts on the meter instrument, as well as sound alarm.
Collision mitigation support front
The collision mitigation support front can avoid or mitigate the collision with vehicles. Main application scenario: Vehicle straight rear-end collision.
When the front collision warning function detects a collision risk, it will remind the driver to react in time through sound, pictures on meter instrument and short braking to reduce the collision risk.
Pedestrian collision mitigation assist
The pedestrian collision mitigation assist can avoid or mitigate the collision with pedestrians. Main application scenarios: When there are pedestrians crossing the road.
Cyclist collision mitigation assist
Cyclist collision mitigation assist can avoid or mitigate the collision with cyclists. Main application scenarios: When there are cyclists crossing the road/rear-end collision.
Obstacle Detection
Obstacle targets detected by Collision Mitigation Support Front (CMSF) include cars, regular shaped trucks, buses and other vehicles, as well as pedestrians and cyclists.
Vehicles
Collision mitigation support front (CMSF) can detect most vehicles that are stationary or running in the same direction as the vehicle.
Only when the front combination lamps of vehicle turn on normally can the vehicles within a certain range be detected at night.
Pedestrians
Only when the system detects the unmistakable information of the
pedestrian’s shape, can it achieve the best
working effect. It means that the system can clearly recognize human head, arms, shoulders, thighs, upper body, lower body, etc., in combination with standard human movement.
The system can detect the pedestrians in contrast to the background, for example, the clothing color of pedestrians is in sharp contrast with the environment color.
If the contrast is low, the pedestrian will be detected late or not detected at all. It means that the warning and braking will be delayed or unachieved.
If a pedestrian is partially blocked, the clothes worn are not easy to be judged as body shape, and if the height is less than
0.8 m, or a large object is carried, he/she can’t be detected, which means that braking cannot be achieved.
Cyclist
The bicyclist must be an adult and the riding vehicle is designed for an adult. Only when the system detects the unmistakable outline information of human body and bicycle, can it achieve the best working effect. It means that the system can clearly recognize bicycle, head, arms, shoulders, thighs, upper body, lower body, etc., in combination with standard human movement.
Partial block, poor background contrast or cyclists loaded with large goods cannot be detected by the system, which means that braking cannot be realized.
Function Limitation
The collision mitigation support front system may be limited in some cases.
Surroundings
- Strong sunlight, reflection and extreme light contrast may make it difficult for the driver to see visual warning signals, and may also affect the detection of front camera.
- On slippery roads, the braking distance of vehicle is lengthened, which will reduce the anti-collision performance of CMSF.
- If the temperature in passenger compartment is very high, the front camera may be temporarily turned off and the system may not give a warning.
- Under complex driving conditions, the system may apply unnecessary braking. For example, when there is water spraying or splashing at construction site, railway track, manhole cover, underground garage or ahead of vehicle.
Front Camera Vision
- In some cases, the vision of front camera is limited. The system may detect vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists later than expected, or fail to detect them at all.
- The automatic emergency braking may be degraded and even unavailable when the front camera is blocked or the front camera function is limited.
- In order for a vehicle to be detected at night, its headlights and taillights must be turned on and exceptionally bright.
- When the vehicle speed exceeds 90 km/ h, the warning and braking intervention for pedestrians and cyclists will be turned off.
Driver Intervention
- If the driver applies the accelerator pedal or steers to intervene during the automatic emergency braking of vehicle, the system will exit the automatic emergency braking, even if the collision is inevitable.
- While the automatic braking is being triggered, the driver needs a larger force to depress brake pedal.
- When reversing, the system is in suspended.
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) obtains road traffic sign information such as speed limit sign and several prohibitory traffic signs via front camera and map information, and prompts the driver of current road sign information via the combination instrument in real time. If the vehicle exceeds the current speed limit of the road, the system will give an alarm in time to assist the driver’s proper driving.
When the vehicle is powered on, the traffic sign recognition system will start
self-check, and the system function is not available at this stage.
Despite the Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) function, it is the driver's responsibility to observe the speed limit signs and comply with traffic laws.
Speed Limit Information Recognition
Click the Vehicle Settings → Assisted Driving → Safety Settings → Intelligent Reminder → Speed Limit Information
Recognition on the multi-media display in sequence, and then you can set the speed
limit alarm mode and speed limit deviation setting in this interface.
Display of Speed Limit Sign
When the vehicle reaches the area where the speed limit sign is located, the speed limit sign is displayed, and the display ends after a certain distance.
If the road speed limit sign is unclear, distorted, inclined, irregular, partially blocked or covered, etc., the recognition of front camera will degrade, resulting in
misrecognition or unrecognizable.
When the map data is not updated or the positioning is inaccurate, the speed limit sign information ahead may not be displayed or the speed limit information
may be displayed inaccurately.
In case of other non-standard signs and positions, it may be identified as speed limit signs, resulting in misrecognition. When vehicle positioning is affected, auxiliary road speed limit signs may be displayed when driving on the main
road.
Speed Limit Alarm
On the multimedia display, click: Vehicle Settings → Assisted Driving → Safety Settings → Intelligent Reminder → Speed Limit Information Recognition in sequence, then select the alarm mode in the speed limit alarm interface.
No alarm: The meter instrument only displays the speed limit sign. Icon flashing: The speed limit sign in the instrument cluster flashes.
Flashing icon + sound: The speed limit sign in the meter instrument flashes accompanied by an audible reminder.
Second Speed Limit Warning
When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit value plus the deviation value recognized by the system, a warning will be triggered, and the system gives the first alarm.
When the vehicle speed is less than the speed limit plus deviation value recognized by the system, the first warning will be canceled.
When the vehicle speed drops to the alarm trigger value minus 5 km/h or more, and then the vehicle speed exceeds the alarm trigger value again, the second alarm will be triggered. Otherwise, the alarm will not be
triggered, until the speed limit value is updated.
The speed limit alarm function only
serves as a speed limit reminder. The driver shall actively control the vehicle speed.
Speed Limit Deviation Setting
On the multimedia display screen, click: Vehicle Settings → Assisted Driving →
Safety Settings → Intelligent Reminder →
Speed Limit Information Recognition in sequence, then select the required speed limit deviation value in the speed limit deviation setting interface. An alarm is given when the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit plus the deviation setting.
Rear Side Radar Assist System (RSRS)
The system detects obstacles from rear side of the vehicle based on the rear side medium-range radar on both sides of rear bumper. These radars are used for Lane Change Safety Warning (LCSW) (including blind spot monitoring function), Rear Collision Warning (RCW), Door Opening Warning (DOW) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
When the vehicle is powered on, the Rear Side Radar Assist System will
start self-check, and the system function is not available at this stage.
On the multimedia display, click in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Assisted Driving → Safety Settings → Pre-collision
Assist and enable or disable the functions as demand in this interface. The state of all function switches remains as the previous setting.
The system will prompt the driver of driving safety via the on/flashing of blind spot monitoring indicator on the exterior rearview mirror (door mirror), meter instrument prompt, sound alarm, flashing of hazard warning lamp, etc.
When the vehicle is powered on, the blind spot monitoring status indicator on the meter instrument display lights up in green, and the system works normally. There is a malfunction when the blind spot monitoring status indicator lights up in red.
- Please keep the both sides of rear bumper surface clean;
- This system is only for driver assist, and it cannot replace the driver’s safe driving.
- Do not dismantle or exchange the rear side medium-range radar.
Lane Change Safety Warning (LCSW)
The Lane Change Safety Warning function covers the blind spot area and the rear area with fast approaching vehicles, to assist and alert the driver against blind spots and rear vehicles when driving, especially when turning or changing lanes. The lane change safety warning function works within the speed range of 15 ~ 150 km/h.
- Blind spot area
- Area with fast approaching vehicles
When the alarm condition is met, the blind spot monitoring indicator light on the exterior rearview mirror (door mirror) lights up or flashes. If the indicator and sound warning function are turned on in advance in the multimedia display, the system will also give a sound warning.
In some cases, it’s difficult for the lane change warning function to assist the driver.
Possible situations include:
- Bad weather such as rain or snow.
- For smaller targets (pedestrians, bicycles, etc).
- For stationary targets (vehicles, pedestrians, etc.).
- When driving on sharp bends and slopes.
Rear Collision Warning (RCW)
The Rear Collision Warning function can monitor the targets behind this vehicle. When a vehicle is detected quickly coming from behind, the hazard warning lamp will turn on to remind the other vehicle from behind to slow down or keep a safe distance. When this vehicle is stationary and a rear-end collision risk is detected, with the gear is in Neutral (N)/Park (P)/Drive (D) position, this function may trigger the brake (does not trigger when in Reverse (R) position). The brake was triggered to reduce the risk of this vehicle from slipping forward after being hit by the vehicle behind and avoid another collision between this vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
The Rear Collision Warning function works with the gear in Neutral (N)/Park (P)/Drive
(D) position, and the vehicle does not slip backwards. The detection of the rear approaching targets includes the following targets, etc:
- Four-wheeled vehicle
- Two-wheeled vehicle
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Assisted
Driving → Safety Settings → Pre-collision
Assist, and then select to enable or disable the Rear Collision Warning in this interface. In some cases, the Rear Collision Warning function may or may not work. Possible situations include:
- The vehicle coming from behind changes lane at the last minute.
- Too late to detect a vehicle coming from behind in scenes such as sharp bends and ramps.
- The relative speed between the vehicle coming from behind and this vehicle exceeds 72 km/h or the relative speed is less than 10 km/h.
The Rear Collision Warning function
cannot avoid collision. The driver should pay attention to the warning and take actions accordingly for safe drive.
Door Opening Warning (DOW)
When the vehicle is stationary or being driven at low speed, the rear side middle- range radar detects the approaching movable targets at the rear side. When a collision risk exists to open the door, the blind spot monitoring indicator on door mirror
(exterior rearview mirror) lights up or flashes and gives a sound warning to remind the driver of the risk to open the door.
The door opening warning function mainly detects the following targets:
- Four-wheeled vehicle
- Two-wheeled vehicle
- Running pedestrians
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Assisted Driving → Safety Settings → Pre-collision Assist, and then select to enable or disable the door opening warning in this interface. In some cases, it’s difficult for the door opening warning function to assist the driver. Possible situations include:
- Bad weather such as rain or snow.
- The relative speed between the rear vehicle and the own vehicle is too high or too low.
- The rear vehicle approaches after changing lanes from other lanes.
- In sharp turns, ramps and other scenes.
- For smaller targets (pedestrians, bicycles, etc).
After the vehicle is powered off for 3 minutes or the vehicle is locked and powered off, the door opening warning
function stops working.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The rear cross traffic alert uses the rear side medium-range radar to monitor approaching targets. When a collision risk is detected between the vehicle and rear vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc., the blind spot monitoring indicator on the corresponding exterior rearview mirror remains on or flashes, and it reminds the driver to react in time through sound and vehicle-machine interface to reduce the collision risk.
This function works in automatic rolling or reversing scenarios in reverse (R) gear or neutral (N) gear. When a possible collision is detected, the rear cross traffic alert function reminds the driver through sound, indicator lights and vehicle-machine interface to respond in time, and automatically brakes when necessary to prevent the vehicle from colliding with the rear crossing vehicle when leaving the parking space.
Rear cross traffic alert is a driving assistance function, and its warning timing is affected by many factors such as the vehicle speed, the type of obstacles, the distance from the obstacles, the driving environment, the delay of system response, etc., and it may not be able to give timely warning, or a missed warning or wrong warning may be provided. The rear cross traffic alert function cannot substitute the
driver's driving and judgment.

Tyre
Tyre Inspection
When to Check Tyre
Inspect all tyres at least once every month.
How to Check Tyres
Check the tyre pressure with a quality compact type of tyre pressure gauge. Check the tyre inflation pressure when the tyre is cold.
Remove the valve cap from the tyre valve. Press the tyre pressure gauge firmly onto the valve and take the pressure reading.
If the cold tyre inflation pressure meets the recommended pressure value on the tyre pressure label, no adjustment is required.
If the cold tyre inflation pressure is too low, continue to inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure value.
If the tyre is overinflated, press the metal valve core of the tyre valve to deflate the tyre to the recommended pressure value.
Use the tyre pressure gauge to check the tyre pressure again. Always install the valve cap back on the valve core. Valve caps keep dirt and moisture out.
How to Check Tyre Wear
The tread wear indicator will appear when the tyre has worn up to 1.6 mm or less of tread. Tyres should be replaced as soon as possible after the tyre wear has reached its limit.
If uneven tyre wear is found, or some continuous vibration is felt while driving, go to an authorized PROTON e.MAS service outlet for inspection.
Conduct a wheel balancing when installing new tyres.
If the tyres with shallow tread patterns or exposed wear marks are used continuously, it may cause the braking distance to increase, steering failure, burst tyre, etc., which easily can cause traffic
accidents.
Please dispose the used tyres in accordance with the rules and
regulations of your local authorities.
Tyre Pressure
The tyre pressure label are posted on the lower side of the centre pillar of this vehicle, showing the recommended tyre inflation pressures.

- The high-voltage system of a waterlogged vehicle must be disconnected before handling the vehicle. The vehicle must be completely dried after it has been removed from the waterlogged area to prevent injury from electrical leakage.
Rescuing the Vehicle in Case of Fire
- In case of fire, do not touch any part of the vehicle as it is fully energized. It is necessary to wear personal protective equipment, including self-contained air breathing apparatus.
- In case the power battery caught fire, quickly stay away from the vehicle at a safe distance. Use plenty of water or a water-based fire extinguisher to cool the power battery.
- High-voltage components may be energized during a fire! Cutting, crushing or touching high-voltage components may result in serious personal injury or death.
- If there are occupants in the vehicle during rescue efforts, be sure to help them escape by pulling the door handle to see if the door can be opened. If the door cannot be opened, a sharp, hard object can be used to strike the corners of the door glass to help the occupants escape by breaking the window.
- Do not use fire extinguishers containing electrical substances to extinguish fires, as this may result in electric shocks or other accidents.
- High-voltage components on fire must be extinguished with a water-based fire extinguisher suitable for lithium battery.
- When the vehicle is on fire, quickly leave and stay away from the vehicle at a safe distance; make an emergency call and notify the rescue personnel that the vehicle on fire is an electric vehicle equipped with high-voltage components.
When a fire occurs, for personal safety, the following operations can be carried out if conditions permit:
- If the harness smokes and catches fire, spray with carbon dioxide or dry powder extinguisher.
- If smoke is emitted from the power battery, it should be considered that the power battery is heating up. Please use a high-pressure water gun to extinguish the fire from a distance.
- If a person accidentally inhaled thick smoke, please move the person away from the scene and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
- After all flames and smoke have completely subsided, use a thermal imaging camera to actively measure the temperature change trend of the power battery. There should completely no fire, nor smoke or heat in the power battery for at least one hour before the vehicle can be moved. The power battery must be completely cooled before taking away the vehicle from the accident scene. Remind the transporter that there is always a risk of the power battery could re-ignite.
- When extinguishing residual fires in the latter stages of fire fighting, it is important to make sure that the power battery is completely cooled in order to prevent it
from re-ignition. The power battery can re-ignite when it is close to an ignition source. To prevent possible electric shock and personal injury, do not damage the power battery housing.
Evacuating Occupants during Emergency
Evacuating Occupants After Doors are Unlocked
If life is endangered and need to escape, do the following to escape from the scene as quick as possible:
When the doors are unlocked, the doors can be opened by pulling the inside door handles of the vehicle.
- Each of the remaining three doors can be unlocked and opened by pulling the interior handles.
- If the rear door can not be opened, possibly the child lock is locked. Open the rear doors from outside of the vehicle or lower down the window glass to reach and pull the inside door handle from outside to open the rear doors.
- When all doors cannot be opened or is locked, use a sharp and hard object to strike the corners of the door glass to break the window and escape.
Power Battery Damage and Fluid Leakage
The power battery contains electrolyte. To prevent accidental injury, be sure to observe the following
precautions:
- In case of accidental inhalation of electrolyte or fumes, it may cause respiratory sensitization. Inhalation of vapors may cause sensitization of the upper respiratory tract and lung, it is necessary to breathe fresh air and seek medical attention immediately.
- Skin contact with electrolyte or fumes may cause skin sensitization and/or chemical burns. It is necessary to change contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water immediately. If chemical burns or persistent irritation occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
- Prolonged skin contact with electrolyte may cause localized inflammation through skin absorption.
- Eye contact with electrolyte may cause severe sensitization and chemical burns. It is necessary to open the upper and lower eyelids and flush the eyes with water immediately for more than 15 minutes, then seek medical attention immediately.
- Electrolyte is volatile and flammable, so pay attention to fire prevention and ventilation.
- In the event of an electrolyte leakage, wear appropriate personal protective equipment and clean up any spilled
electrolyte with a dry cloth. Ensure adequate ventilation in this area.
If electrolyte leakage or any problem or damage to the power battery housing is observed, rescue personnel must wear personal protective equipment and must not touch the electrolyte with their hands. Lime powder can be used to dilute and neutralize the electrolyte, and water cannot be used for dilution. The neutralization process helps stabilize the thermal state of the power battery, but does not discharge the power battery.
